Trying to figure out how the NBA game works. Not for betting purposes. Forthcoming Books: The Five Body Problem (2026); It's LeBron and It's Not Even Close (2028) (or whenever he retires). Occasional cooking advice. Nachos good.

Hi Blue Sky Nation,

Yes. The model usually brings the predictions closer together than Vegas over-unders. And as I got to the last two teams, I even said in my head, Wizards will be 24-58. Shocked to see how far off I was.

Somebody should tell our guy, the Trade Deadline is in FIVE months : )

Wizards projection is a shocker! The model has turned over a new leaf : )

Why do I need an inter dimensional way station to burn these little guys? Is the atmosphere on their world so volatile it’s too dangerous? Or does my Kyphotic friend have a small apartment and he just needs the space?

I always heard that breed could turn on you!

Is that T. Shannon Jr? Usually he’s delivering the dunk : )

Business decision!

Back in the day it was like driving. Hands had to be between 10 and 2 :)

Even driving has changed. My boys do 9 and 3, now.

Thanks! It’s great. Those old black and white reels really show the difference.

I will pay more attention to DG’s pre-cut moves. Thanks!

That was a carry in my day!

But then so was just about everything ball handlers do now : )

Have you seen that type of ball fake before? The player almost grabs the ball with both hands but doesn’t. Very interesting.

Made the midwestern version recently. Ground beef with tater tot topping. But same idea.

NBA Causal @nbacausul.bsky.social · 1d

kiai!

I bought the shirt. But for the record, I identify as old and satiated.

That ball goes on a pedestal in the house!

Just a little reminder:

Lebron Retirement Announcement Watch:

If LBJ wants to be feted in every NBA city, he must announce by Oct 29, the date of his only trip to Minny.

If he only cares about celebrations in his “home/fav” cities, he has to announce by Jan 28 @Cavs. He's last at NYC Feb. 1, Miami Mar 19, and GS Apr 9.

Find out who sells that little white table. That may be the clue.

The cat is very clearly saying that the key to integrating any mathematical expression is to guess the answer, then take its derivative to prove you’re right.

Did not expect the anti-Shakespeare rant but I’m here for it.

He’s over rated. Shakespeare was writing against plumbers and firefighters!
